Day Games v. Night Games

 Shooting outside 3rd Base Gate leaves Nationals fan injured, along with three others in DC tonight

* I don't want to sound hardened but it surprises me that shootings / guns are seemingly so rare in places like DC and NYC today that fans reacted the way they did, even though the action was all outside the field.  The stadium was eventually cleared and the game postponed.  Let me gently suggest that others will likely die tonight of stress and overexertion because of the call to eventually evacuate the stadium:  more passive pans who were not expecting the excitement.

Like with the Capitol riots, heart attacks and blood pressure stressors due to unanticipated exertion will likely strike at least one or two in that crowd, perhaps more than the number actually shot dead (hopefully holding at zero tonight in DC, and only Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, right?)
